Importance of APIs in IoT App and Service Development

As the Internet of Things (IoT) increases scale and scope across industry verticals, the exploitation of Application Programming Interfaces (API) specifically targeted towards IoT application and service development will be very important.

Key areas for IoT app and service support include IoT specific OS, Application Development & Deployment Platform (ADDP), and IoT Testing services. For example, ADDP and IoT Testing services in particular will be crucial to mitigate risks for enterprise deployment and reduce lifecycle costs. Another important area is IoT simulation as it will be critical to identifying network impact, potential security concerns, and much more.
